Haiku

Haiku is a Japanese unrhymed poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. Haiku traditionally evokes images of nature. As it evolved, the traditional 5/7/5 syllable sequence has given way to a less formal poem. You may see additional or fewer syllables which is acceptable as long as imagery is intact.
